so if we cut through the smokescreen of harangues against against cuban folk medicine and the diatribe against the obvious inadequacies of governmental medical recommendation, what you're really mumbling under your breath is that those who can afford medical care should never be denied a resource, however scarce, nor however unlikely it may be of value to them, as long as they can afford it.
when a vital commodity must be rationed, there are two ways to do it. it can either be auctioned off to the highest bidder, or a determination must be made that it be triaged in some way that it is distributed to those statistically most likely to benefit from it. I'm sorry tb, but the former option is simply unacceptable in a civilized society. first class passengers do not have priority seating in the lifeboats.
